It's amazing that the free world still considers us as the oppressed as we Black Americans turn against our anti-war principles to support an Uncle Tom Presidency. I mean what else can Obama do except bend to the powers that be that want more war. All throughout his campaign Obama spoke of bringing American troops home and ending the war. Yet he is ordering more troops to Afghanistan a primitive civilization that still lives in anicent times are far as their standard of living in hopes bringing it under modern elected deomcratic government! Lol.
Afghanistan is a lawless land with a very old economy that is not driven by industrialism nor technology but farming of opium and cattle raising. There is no way our civilization can conquer theirs when they aren't even looking to abandon their way of life for ours. For those of you who don't know what makes a civilization it is the tools it uses based upon what is most available to them. This country which is part of a much more bigger area that encompanses nearing countries as Pakistain has very limited resources for anything other than opuim farming and cattle rearing. Cellphones, tevevisions, computers techology tools aren't useful to them as much as tools to dig, horses, camels, tents, rugs and all the tools of an ancient mountain civiliaztion. What the hell is Obama thinking? Better yet what the hell are we thinking? This region has never been conquered by anyone because these people refused to be lured into modern living. You can beat an enemy into submission but if they don't accept your way of life then you can't rule them. The source of their living is independent so therefore they will always be independent.
And as far as Black America is concerned how can we suddenly be for what we always been against the conquest of other nations by force and coercin? Some say this is the war against the Taliban but whom exactly are the Taliban? They are the strongest group in that region. They are not from outside but a product of their own enviroment. We have no right to go into another enviroment and disrupt the natural order and place a weaker group at the top. Because of this we have to send 30,000 additional troops and spend billions of dollars to change what nature has allowed to happen. That is the strong rule overthe weak right or wrong. Until the people in that region evolve natually we can not change them. Afghan civiization dictates they must rule hard, cruel and fierce in order to have order. This is why when the natural rulers the Taliban ran Afghanitan does was hardly any crime or any of the security issues that we are seeing now as the result of our interferrence.
Obama has put us on the path to an even more greater loss of life of U.S Troops and the continued collapse of our economy. And Black Americans once a voice of conscience has been bought out by a symbolic token gesture of a Black President. Shame.
